SARATOGA SPRINGS – A city man was arrested Friday – after first attempting to flee officers – in connection with an ongoing investigation into local narcotics sales.

The arrest was the second this month linked to the investigation. At least four other arrested were made last month, with still other arrests made in January and December.

Damien D. Small, 29, was arrested just before noon Friday on a city court warrant. Police said Small had been a target of the ongoing investigation for the distribution, sale and possession of cocaine.

He was charged with two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance and four counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, all felonies. Small was arraigned and sent to Saratoga County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Last week, Stacey Walker, 41, was arrested on a city court warrant, police said for participating in the distribution of both cocaine and heroin in Saratoga Springs. She was charged with fourth-degree conspiracy, a felony.

In February, two of the people arrested, Felix "Lucky" Moran and Kaleef "Leaf" Krigger, were accused of peddling thousands of dollars of cocaine, heroin and other drugs each week.
